Yeah, my “gift” was undiagnosed ADHD which has made life absolutely miserable to navigate once I left the extremely structured environment of school.

Smoked paprika. It just adds so much depth to anything that I add it to! I’m also a big fan of cumin and turmeric.

18 or 20, depending on how I’m feeling that day.

69F (20.5C) year-round. Just for the memes.

Where do you draw the line, exactly? AI-generated art doesn’t discriminate based on how wealthy the individual whose art it is copying is. Most artists aren’t wealthy. Their work is being stolen just as readily as Miyazaki’s. The fact that Miyazaki’s not using his wealth to help others is completely irrelevant to the conversation.

Definitely better. I play tabletop RPGs (D&D, Pathfinder), and technology has allowed us to do all sorts of things that would be challenging in a physical medium. We can create detailed maps with lighting effects, sound effects, and triggers. A lot of the more tedious parts of the game such as initiative and health tracking get automated, and applying damage and healing is as easy as clicking a button while having a unit selected. And to top it all off, we’re not restricted to playing with the people around us and physically getting together. You can sit at home in your PJs and just hop into a Discord call to play with your friends. I’m truly grateful for it because I was able to continue playing Tabletop RPGs with my sister when she moved 1300 miles away to live with her then boyfriend, now husband.

Look at me, engaging with this deleted post. How silly

Because I have very poor social skills, and every time I have opened up to somebody in the past, they’ve taken advantage of me and hurt me. It’s just more comfortable and stable being alone at this point.
